As a devoted fan of suspenseful dramas and legal thrillers, I have been absolutely captivated by Apple TV+’s limited series “Presumed Innocent,” starring the talented Jake Gyllenhaal. This summer of 2024 has seen its fair share of must-watch shows, with “Bridgerton” and “Your Honor” being a few notable mentions on Netflix. However, none have managed to grip me as tightly as this captivating murder mystery legal drama.
During the sweltering summer of 2024, everyone was abuzz about a particular show that wasn’t available on Netflix. Don’t get me wrong, there were some fantastic shows gracing the streaming platform like “Bridgerton” and “Your Honor.” But nothing could compare to the allure of the captivating murder mystery legal drama “Presumed Innocent” featuring the talented Jake Gyllenhaal. This series had everyone hooked right up until its mind-blowing finale, making it the talk of the town.
The limited series “Presumed Innocent” debuted on Apple TV+ on June 12, releasing its first two episodes. With a total of eight episodes, the season concluded on July 24, revealing the identity of Carolyn’s killer. As reported by Deadline, the drama has become Apple TV+’s most-watched series, resulting in the streaming platform deciding to renew “Presumed Innocent” for a second season, potentially making it an anthology series.
According to the 1987 novel “Presumed Innocent” by Scott Turow, the basis for a 1990 film adaptation with the same name starring Harrison Ford as Gyllenhaal’s character, this new show explores the intricacies of a murder investigation. The story revolves around prosecutor Rusty Sabich who finds himself under suspicion for the death of a colleague and former lover. Throughout the series, viewers will be taken on a complex journey filled with numerous potential suspects.
Here’s the official synopsis via Apple TV+ Press:
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, hailing from David E. Kelley and executive producer J.J. Abrams and is based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Scott Turow. Starring Gyllenhaal in the lead role of chief deputy prosecutor Rusty Sabich, the series takes viewers on a gripping journey through the horrific murder that upends the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office when one of its own is suspected of the crime. The series explores obsession, sex, politics, and the power and limits of love, as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.
In the preview for the show, Gyllenhaal’s on-screen persona keeps asserting “I didn’t kill her,” repeatedly. This phrase becomes so frustratingly frequent that it leaves you pondering: Did he truly take Carolyn’s life? If not, who then is the culprit? For those eager to uncover the truth or for the undecided spectators, here’s a sneak peek of the series in the trailer below!
You can’t find “Presumed Innocent” on Netflix, as it is exclusively streaming on Apple TV+. To watch this legal thriller and Apple TV+’s other popular shows like “Palm Royale” and “Severance,” you will need a subscription to the platform.
Apple TV+ provides some alternatives to obtain a complimentary trial. When you buy a brand new Apple gadget, you get to enjoy a three-month free trial of the streaming platform. If you opt for the Apple One package deal, you can secure a one-month free trial, but keep in mind that regular monthly bundle prices range from $19.95 to $37.95 based on your preferred plan. In contrast, a standard Apple TV+ subscription amounts to $9.99 per month and includes a weeklong free trial for new clients.
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed that Netflix has been forming alliances with supposed competitors to expand their content library. However, don’t get too excited about seeing any Apple TV+ original series on Netflix anytime soon. It might take a long time, or it may never happen at all. If you’re eager to watch “Presumed Innocent,” I recommend signing up for Netflix to access it. For those who aren’t quite ready to make the commitment yet, consider checking out shows like “The Lincoln Lawyer,” “Clickbait,” “Your Honor,” and “The Innocent” instead.
